An announcement will be made soon
Chelsea have agreed a deal to include the Argentina international in the current summer Mercato and are now close to making an official announcement.
The 2026 World Cup ended with Spain’s victory over Argentina, a clean sheet that earned La Roja his second ever star.
Valentin Barko, who was invited to the Argentine national team, rarely had the opportunity to participate in the tournament.
The versatile Strasbourg player, capable of playing in midfield and left-back, was a reserve player and had to wait on the bench. He played only 19 minutes in the third match of the group stage against Jordan (3-1).
The 21-year-old football player, who had a great season with Strasbourg (3 goals and 9 assists in 43 games), will not return to the French league.
